Decisive figure at the double propels Mirassol past Botafogo | OneFootball

Carlos Eduardo put Mirassol ahead in the 16th minute and set the tone. He then added a second in the second minute of first half stoppage time, sealing a 2-0 win over Botafogo.

He opened the scoring by arriving centrally to finish after Igor's pass (16.). The finish was calm and early, the first of only two attempts he took all night.

Deep into first half stoppage time, he struck again, guiding a right-footed effort into the bottom left corner to leave Fogão chasing the game.

The veteran midfielder's output was brutally efficient: two attempts, both on target and both converted, plus four touches in the box and seven successful final third passes. His work done, he was withdrawn (67.).

Operating as Mirassol's central link in a 4-2-3-1, his timing into the area repeatedly connected moves and kept Glorioso off balance whenever the hosts broke the lines.

Mirassol visit RB Bragantino next. Fogão host Vasco da Gama.
